So if that agent wants you to pay them out of your money then do two offers one without paying the fee and one where you reduce you price by 2 times the fee.

Just have ample reserves while you get a handle on things and you will be good. 

Both of these loan programs are conventional financing, and with less than a 20% down payment, you would also receive a reduced mortgage insurance rate. 

I'm going to be in a similar situation soon and am curious how you handled it and how they responded.

:(Are there NOI improvements you can make, eliminate expenses, improve turn over (lower it), reduce damage etc etc. 

Is there a simple Finder's Fee template which contains enough protection to handle these common transactions?

Also, came across this article re: Rutland which does make sense from what I've seen as I've driven around parts of the state -Source: https://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/money/20...Thinking from a REI & plain budgeting perspective, I am going to focus on a 3-4 multi unit, if nothing else than to reduce current rent budget.

My Rental is only 3 bdr, so if my family moves in there it will be a bit tight...But I will have no mortgage on it4) Buy cheap houses in the middle of nowhere that cash flow 300-400 per month...Anyway, I am lost and cant figure out what to do.What I know for sure is I am not sure how long can I handle my job, I cant stand it.

Househacking is probably the easiest and most effective way to get started, in my opinion.You can reduce living expenses, learn a ton and also acquire an asset!
